CTNS mutations in patients with cystinosis
Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the gene CTNS. The CTNS gene product, cystinosin, has 367 amino acids and seven transmembrane domains and is thought to transport cystine out of lysosomes.

Population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of cysteamine in nephropathic cystinosis patients [PDF]
Background Nephropathic cystinosis is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting in an impaired transport of cystine trough the lysosomal membrane causing an accumulation of free cystine in lysosomes.

Altered mTOR signalling in nephropathic cystinosis
Lysosomes play a central role in regulating autophagy via activation of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). We examined mTORC1 signalling in the lysosomal storage disease nephropathic cystinosis (MIM 219800), in which accumulation of ...
